Apply mass spectrometric techniques including multiple-stage ion trap, and tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry with ESI, MALDI-TOF, high resolution mass spectrometry, LC/MS/MS. GC/MS, in the the structural characterization and quantification of various biomolecules, in particular, metabolites and lipids. Research also has been focused on mass spectrometric studies on the gas-phase ion chemistry of various lipids. leading to development in automation in lipid identification and quantitation by mass spectrometry.
